I gave some people a little preview of this article earlier this month but I’ve decided to publish it now. I added a few new scenes since then. The article covers the Deleted Scenes in AvP Requiem. Over 30 minutes were cut from AvP Requiem due to Fox not giving them any more money for effects etc. Most of the material, we’ll never get to see.

This article covers scenes we’ve seen in past trailers, production stills etc that weren’t in the theatrical version and also what to expect from the upcoming DVD. It’s fairly interesting. Not a lot of people know about these scenes. I’ll probably do another Deleted Scenes article after the DVD has been released.

A really interesting breakdown..... many thanks for posting Darkness. It'll be interesting to see how many 'unrated' versions Fox will churn out in the future!

I would have wanted to see a ALOT of this stuff in the movie. Especially hte car scene with the Alien on the roof.

Awesome ideas!!! Looking forward to that avpr review from the elusive darkness. AVPR 7/10   ;D  

Once again FOX Fecks the film, i'd love to have seen Wolf stare at his fallen comrades as they've been skinned. I knew the mounted gun scene wsnt in the film. what seems to be on the Uncut DVD so far wouldnt really total the 3min mark so far, maybe these other scenes will make it on the DVD but not in the actual Uncut version of the film, remember the official annoncement is still to be heard. So if everything turned out alright the film would have been just over 2hours long, dammit!

I already reviewed the movie ages ago. It's in the Fan Reviews thread.

A Predator skinned and hanged usite down by a  Predalien doesn´t look right. Remember, like the Brothers have said, the Predalien is mostly an Alien. So, this kind of ritual wouldn´t make any sense and it would look stupid! Aliens don´t do that.

Awesome Darkness!  Im really looking forward to the extended opening.    Seeing Jesse get cut in half might not be as cool.I kinda liked the way she gets pinned to the wall...   :o     :o  

Thanks for this,i never heard about the jesse getting sliced in half delted scene

The Pred-alien is just another alien. If I saw skinned preds by the Pred-alien and then if I saw it cloak, I might have left the movies right then and there.  I liked that Jesse got pinned as well but I'll give the scene a chance first.

I really like the look of these delted scenes. My main problem with the movie was that the editing quickened everything up so much that nothing had time to have an impact. An added 15-20 minutes could save the film from being a weak 4/10 to a solid 7/10. Although Im not holding my breath.

This is looking great, can't wait to see the skinned Predators!    >:D  

the skinned predator scene WON'T be on the dvd and will NEVER be released because it's BULLSHIT.

I agree,I would have wanted to see alot of this stuff in the movie,(except the whole "predalien acting more predator-like) that would have just been stupid.

Cool deleted scenes. I like em.    :)  

That skinned predators is a DREADFUL Idea, just like almost everything else there is about the Predalien in AVPR. Those it is a great idea for BAD BLOODS who would skin thier own kind or do worse.

That's why the film is too boring. They remove the best scenes.

i agree with the idea of the predalien skinning the predators on the ship was a really dumb idea and whoever thought of that of the predalien acting more like a predator is dumb and should be fired. i like to see wolf predator using his fallen fellow predator's helmet to see the events that happened on the ship.

no wonder only 2 preds there were in the scout ship...   :'(  

Except: Predalien acting like predator and Graveyard Scene

You can still make out the skinned Predators in a few shots  when Wolf is going through the crashed ship. They took the color off the predators but they're there. Especially, when Wolf rises right before he leaves the ship.

And who wanted the Predalien to act more like Predator? f**kN FOX. Go die FOX.

If predalien skins preds, then "homeless" alien should search for empty coca cola cans, way to go fox. this is pure bullshit.

" FOX DIE! " - Metal Gear Solid    >:D  

Oh… my, God. I remember hearing rumors some time ago, that Fox wanted to give the Pred-Alien more predator-like abilities and behavior. Such as the ability to cloak (a frick’n technological achievement and not something that could be genetically inherited; dumbasses   ::)  ) and the drive to skin and hang victims, but I never thought they’d actually be stupid enough to try implementing that ridiculous BS into AVP:R. Thank goodness that crap was omitted or I would've walked out of the theater right there. The kicker is, the Strause Bros. actually went along with it (albeit, only for a while). lol  It’s refreshing to see many of the quality deleted scenes we were expecting, are being reinserted into the DVD release. It’s also nice they fixed that stupid “Jesse gets pinned” scene. There’s absolutely no way Jesse wouldn’t have gotten sliced in half. lol Dumb. Now if they’d only fix the ridiculous Pred-worshiping that permeated the film.   ::)   Seriously. VERY Dumb.  At this point, I’d rather Fox first have Anderson go back and re-insert, complete, and shoot the majority of scenes that were cut from the first film. Their was some awesome stuff that was omitted.   >:(  

Awsome, I'm glad you decided to publish it.  I'm really looking forward to some of those scenes that you've said will be on the DVD!

  :o  i am very interting, specility Alien on Car :)

oh thank god for the new opening and hope we do see more when wolf gets to the crashed ship   ;D  

the skinnned preds & the scene where the predalien rips the spine out of the chef is bit dum... but looking fwd to seeing the rest of the missing scenes...

Of course, the scene where Wolf loses his hand by acid is not there.   ::)   Our superior bad ass is invincible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be pretty cool if they showed Wolf staring at the skinned predators on the big screen,oh well I guess ill see it on DVD.

But then again,the predalien skinning predators is a stupid idea.Whats next,a predator laying eggs with facehuggers in them?

Jesse getting pinned was one of the biggest audience-hits of the whole movie, and it was a new kill that we hadn't seen before. We've already seen plenty of people get ripped in half. Why change it?  And the pacing of the pregnant women bursters was just right; it doesn't need lengthening. Nor does the waitress' bursting need to be shoved right in our faces; it was better implied and left to the imagination like, you know, the original movies did...  But the rest that will be on the DVD sounds cool.

I'd like to see the alien on a car scene, but it doesn't sound like it will be included on the DVD. Sounds like they cut out loads of ineteresting bits and pieces. Someone leak the workprint   :P  

Wow! Wish they had em in the film!    :D  

nice, can't wait to see the final result   ;D    i will sure buy the DVD once it comes out!

If Fox have got any sense what so ever (that's a big if), they'll release one version of the DVD with the six or so extra minutes that were cut really late, then they'll fund the CGI to finish as much of the other 30 minutes as possible and release another version that we'll all have to buy again.

So does this mean the movies running time will be extended? Coz 30 mins is a huge chunk to cut.

Shwing!!! Don't like the idea of the predalien hanging the skinned preds but apart from that swing!

nice compilation Darkness.

The problem with the scene where Jesse gets pinned, is that it was so rediculously unrealistic. Not to mention it wasn't much of a shocker to those who've been following the film since it's inception. Which I'm certain was the vast majority of people who went to see it. lol i.e. the fans.   ;)    Regarding the Pred-Alien, as if the dreadlocks, predator's skin tone, and the absurd new reproductive method weren't bad enough, they were trying to give the Pred-Alien the ability to cloak and have "her" skin and hang victims.   ::)   I wouldn't be surprised if at one point they tried to give it the pred's signature dual blades on it's tail or hands like some of the god-awful concept designs from the '90s. They should all be drug out into the street and shot. lol   ;)  

nice this will make  the movie alil more interesting LOL and DARKNESS or anyone will jesse really get cut in half?????????

The only thing that will get cut in half is the budget for avp3. THANKS AGAIN FOX!!!

I cant remember but did Wolf's ship get destroyed when it landed on earth? Yep the Pred-alien havin Predator like features is very shitly stupid, whoever thought of that has serious nutballness written all over them, Strange how Anderson said FOX slashed alot of footage from his film which turned out to be BS (save some shots of Grid's last fight) now 30 whole minutes cut from AVP-R, There is one film that had 30mins re-inserted that saved a film from a low score to a higher score DAREDEVIL.

thegodfather: No I bought the unrated avp dvd and Anderson gave me a whole eight whopping minutes of more bullsh*t. THANKS AGAIN FOX!!!

Always Money ... This story makes me sick! The theatrical version could have been awesome wth all this features! ( only not the part with the skinned predators - this wouldn´t make sense)  I hope the DVD will have many, many Bonus Features and a directors cur verison, with the special features.  I Hope we will have a better quality for the fight scenes - they were all to fast and too dark i think ...  but i´m looooooking forward to the dvd, theres a place in my huge collection, just after pred1,pred2, avp1 and behind the quadrology...  yeah ;)

I persnally could use that nc17 cut of predator 2 with over 20min of deleted. But I''ll never see that!!! THANKS AGAIN FOX!!!

@ thegodfather & Sulaco.  lol Guys, there's was A LOT of footage that was omitted from the final theatrical version, of which, only a fraction was re-inserted into the "Unrated" edition.   ::)   Which was soooo disappointing.  Some scenes didn't get finished, some scenes were planned but didn't get filmed at all, and there were some important elements that were cut or altered due to budget and time constraints (and of course, Fox's incessent meddling). Like implementing only 3 preds instead of 5.  There were also some good character dialogue and plot developing scenes that were edited or cut completely. Then there's were the few extra battles that didn't make it in at all.   >:(   And of course, there was the toned down human gore.   ::)  

Bio Mech Hunter: Your posts were always intelligent, so do we get a re release of avp someday? At that point I can hand Fox over another $20 spot.   ???   Because everytime they re release, I'm front row dishin it out   :)  

Wait wtf SKINNED PREDATORS!? This movie just gets worse everyday! Wtf is up with the skinned preds? That is just f**king gay! An alien skinning preds? It should reguritate the predators or turn them into alien eggs not SKIN them. Wtf is this Predalien my ass! WOW f**king retarded brothers! Your just as worse as Paul Anderson. Skinned Predators wtf man this just keeps getting worse

The graveyard scene which was up on YouTube and then removed is still available here.  http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid =2080119933

@ALIENS  1) It wasn't the brothers idea for skinned predators. 2) they filmed that scene to show how it would not work.

Stomach-Bursters (Source: Various) The scene in which the stomach of the pregnant woman bursts open will be longer on the DVD  thats the homeless lady in the begining

I would really like to see the skinned preds scene on dvd  to see wolfs reaction. The predalien was never explained,and the belly bursting was speices 2  inspired  and verry bad taste.I mean they bloody had the alien queen built why didnt they have a queen in it and the predalien  a loner

the only part that actually drew my interest was the kendra n curtis info sounds like an actual idea and would make the movie more watchable better subplott to watch rather than these boring drawn out scenes of decapitation and a lingering shot of the birth scene that in my mind amounts to jack in making it worthwile in adding it  i do like the idea of the pred re watching the ships  crews demise  i do think they should re-instate the subplot involving the kids in the hospital,it would add more dimension like  alien 3  were paul mcgann release,s his messiah

Okay,the skinned preds is a very stupid idea.If they wanted the predalien to be more "predator like",then they could have just given the predalien semi-glowing yello blood,which would have been cool because i thought the predalien was more alien rather then predalien (I still think its cool though).I mean,if you look at the runner (dogalien) it s like a 50/50 match up,same with the normal drones (humaliens).Also,just because your a hunter does'nt mean that the moment your child is born it will know how to skin something.And then theres the pred corpses themselves,they put so much effort into the human skinned corpse that it almost looked real (It was darker in AVP-R,but in P1 the sun was shinning directly on them).Whereas these preds look like under sized rubber suits rather then corpses.You'd think they'd add the outlines of musles and tendons,but instead they did'nt (its kinda hard for me to see the pic,so i may be wrong).And if people did see these skinned bodies in my theator,they would have been like "WTF!?!",even if they never saw some of the movies or read the comics/novels.And i was very dissapointed when they were in that store and the fight scene started,because all they showed was the window bursting out.

Also if you ignore what the directors were donig,the movie is'nt so bad,like when Wolf is in the tree using the Med-Kit,thats combat tactics and survival tactics 101,always take the high ground,so in a tree you have dozens of branchs and thousands of leaves,and there are also the cracks in a tree,so if your blood is running down it,it would get into the cracks making it harder to see.And with Wolf taking his helmet off,well Anderson had the same scene in AVP,it was just at a different angle.And there are only so many ways one can take a helmet or a pair of boots or a belt off.I know this has nothing to do with the deleted scenes,im just saying is all.I like how Kelly gets cut in half,that sounds a lot better then when she just got pinned to the wall (Still a nifty scene though).And they should have had the scenes with Kendra and Curtis.I am soooo going to get the unrated collectors edition,I imagen it will be twice as better then the theatrical release.I also wish i could reach through this monitor and give those people at FOX a melvin (for those of you who do'nt know what that is,it's like a wedgy but in the front).AVP-R is awesome (to me) but those people are idiots   >:(  .

I quite like the idea of the Predalien skinning prey. But that would only work had the Predalien not taken up the role of head alien.

I see some "FOX wanted" in the descriptions! BULL $(-)1T!

Thanks for the kinds words, Sulaco.   :D    I would absolutely LOVE it if they did go back and fix AVP, but I'm starting to think we have have about as much of a chance of getting AVP in a manner close to it's original vision, as we do getting our highly coveted un-cut version of Predator 2. And that makes me upset. Damn Fox.   >:(  

I know- lets ask fox what else they can %*#$ up.here is their email: foxmovies@fox.com

The deleted scene where the Wolf Predator sees what went on the ship by the mask reminds me of Star Wars.    ;D  

"Scenes featuring Kendra and Curtis will not be on the DVD."  ?????      This makes no sense because the scenes described sound very interesting.  One can only assume it is because if they are included in the DVD, they will then become added to the talent portion of the costs and FOX would rather keep these scenes out to cut costs as usual.

By me doing the math and with the data available at BoxofficeMojo.com and The-Numbers.com, AVP-R is the least earning domestically and least attended.  ALIEN: roughly 30.4million tickets sold roughly $207.3 million by inflation ALIENS: 23 million tickets $156.9 million inflated PRED: 15.3 million tickets $104.4 million inflated ALIEN3: 13.3 million tickets $91.2 million inflated AVP: 12.9 million tickets $86.5 million inflated ALIEN R:10.0 million tickets $67.3 million inflated PRED2: 7.3 million tickets $49.5 million inflated AVPR: 6.1 million tickets   You see that the last Alien and Predator film where the least attended and least earning. The AVP franchise has likely, I desperately hope NOT, gone dead as soon as it was born. People don't give a SHIT anymore about these films, or go watch them in the theater to say the least.

The franchises have died down after thier first film. Wonder why? Did the Aliens and Predator eat their own fan base due to the carelessness of FOX?   >:D    If they love their franchises, they would have started AVP as their biggest project of the new millimean. They would give the films enomous publicity to everyone, everywhere, beyond the fanbase. We were those people ourselves. They should have made AVP attract as many new goers as Alien and Predator on release that as they did that created you fans to this day. And I don't mean by PG - 13 rating.  By it film treated as an event in film history.

Man plays "RESPECT" on the radio, and dances like it is his favorite.  Predator yells,"TURN OFF THAT MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!" Man say,"What? This use to be YOUR favorite." Predator yells,"It reminds me it's the one thing my so-called FOX 'friends' stop giving me. And they still love me!"

The graveyard scene which was up on YouTube and then removed is still available here.  http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid  =2080119933  Thats not the scene(damn) its a cut copy music video. If anyone has this scene for download please send it my way, thanks!

This film is pure trash and the deleted scenes are trasg also - I DONT want to see the BROS STRAUSE direct another film period. This movie is a sham. I hate that this film now stands alongside the great originals.  FOX, I hope you burn in hell

The worst is yet to come, it can only get worse.

Man i just realized that the stomach bursting is species inspired man the Brother strauses really have to mess up the alien lifecycle!  Damn fat f**ks!

is it just me or do all these pics seem much brighter than the movie? could they have fixed the lighting for the dvd?? hopefully.

hey, if they had most of the deleted scenes it would be alot better, not the predalien acring more predator, wtf

This deleted scenes should have been also destroyed:  The skinned predators are ridiculous. More stomach bursting is not really needed. We do really only need to see it once. It is not really as disgusting as they pretend to be. Excess of blood makes your get used to and its boring at the end. We all know what will hapen after you see something moving there.  The alien in the car rooftop shows to much how bad are the aliens made in this film. They should avoid it (And it is really ridiculous also) Slice the girl...What does it add?  Some of you still think that the darkness in the film is an stylistic approach, or an antipiracy measure...Does anybody agrees with me that they are trying to hide the awful creature work?

Well, I don't see anything wrong with the Predalien skinning Predators alive and hanging them with resin. But what I find it weird is that Predaliens can use cloaking devices and other Predator weapons, which I feel it should be omitted from the movie itself.

Nothing can redeem this film.... And I wouldnt mind but wolf isnt actually all that great. Its just that hes the best thing on a canvas of smeared faeces...  Fox please, let these great characters die with some dignity.... This film now points the franchise down the Robocop ressurrection path.... (One of the 3 movies that were made following Robocop 3)

I think those people at FOX have watched the movie DNA one too many times (I can't beleive i watched that horrible POS).I mean,a predalien being able to cloak?.That would have put another nail in the coffin.I think the next directors of the franchises should be (aside from the original 4 directors) A:Micheal Bay.B:Sam Raimi (Not like the spider-man movies,more like the first EVIL DEAD,but without the goofyness).And C:Christopher Nolan.I WANT MY EPIC FILM FOX!!!!!   >:(  .

I also think that they should get someone from P1 or P2 in AVP3.They did it for AVP,and it sorta worked.Everybody,who wants to see Jesse Ventura,Bill Duke,R.G. Armstrong or Elpidia Carrillo in AVP3?.Rase a hand!   ;D   (this is a serious question).

stylistic approach, or an antipiracy measure  nah if it was that it didnt work my copie,s flawless same as what was on cinema and actually the  contrasts a bit lighter lmo  you still cant make stuff out because the lightings bunkum think they were trying to go The City of Lost Children or timburton and missed lighting direction by a mile

When i saw AVP-R at the theator it seemed fairly bright and i could see a lot.

I think they should bring back Herb?????????????  hint: Herb wake up! I think theres somebody in the bathroom.

Wow thats a lot of info Darkness, thanks!! Cut stuff?! Typical...

The coordination was kinda bad to me    :'(   But, besides that it was a very good movie. (I think the deleted scenes are going to help a lot.    ;D   (Anybody like that skinning idea? i thought it was COOL!   >:D   but not the weapons and cloak idea. That was stupid.   >:(  

hello,so there's no predator rituals etc in the movie,but nobody saw'd in the scene where the girl in the restaurant go back and see the chef is dead/dying the predalien is gets the chef's backbone out?

Hello Everyone on this forum, how are You, I'm grant. I'm polish fun of all thi saga movies, I'm living in Ireland and I have a few opinions and some kind of ideas.Sorry for my english. I've red a couple of times on this forum and diferent forums as well about remake Predator 1 and Alien 1 as well. It's good idea ofcouorse but I'm thinking that is pity to destroyed originals movies. For me all movies are briliant connected.In my opinion in Predator 1 should to be included one or two scenes with a death body of alien(commando under command of ARNOLD sHWARZENEGGER discovered a some kind of capsule or small starship of predator with trophie of alien, this scene could be included during when predator currying himself and screaming very scary and Sonny Landham(Billy) saying:"We'll all diy" and after We have either discution about  it. For me Predator 1 is a somekind of genesis all saga movies

and in predator 2 We've seen a scene when Danny Glover discovered a skullhead of alien on spaceship of predators. This same could be in Alien 1 when Dallas(Tom Skerrit and rest of crue) discovered a aliens space ship and all of them could seen in a one moment a death bodies or body of predator. Dallas remembering by a couple of seconds or minutes a battle between predator and aliens er and He's saying that He's senn them before in his hometown and He's saying that They're deadly dangerous. In my opinion Predator3 should be done, because could be a great genesis for a AVP1 and AVP2 as well and should to played Arnold Shwarzenegger and Danny Glover and They should be played  as well in AVP3 because this movie could a very great genesis for Aliens movies, aha I've forgoten to sad in AVP3 should to played Sanaa Lathan and We can't forget Dallas in  AVP3 as well. For me good idea is that should to be a some one kind of coporation between McTierman, Hopkins,Scott, Cameron, Anderson and Strausse brothers for this project. In Alien 5 could be included fiveteen minutes

final scene with alone predator,whichone helping people (I mean Sigourney Weaver, Ron Perlamn and etc.)to destroyed all aliens race, at this scene We have a Queen of Aliens and PredAlien, fight is very gore, brutal, ofcourse people and predator are a winners. During this battle predator is very hurt and He's daying after this fight. Could be inluded scene when people before met predator discovering a scary history,that in the  past been a lot of wars between this two races and our race as well(from Predator1, Predator2, AVP1, AVP2 and AVP3). I've met a lot of opinions that those movies aren't conneted, for me are, I mean in AVP1 We've a character of Mr. Charles "Bishop" Weyland, at AVP2 We've chararacter of Mrs. Yutani      .I know every one of Us have a different opinion and ideas, I'm understand, but ould write to me,please.Thank You, Norbert.

  ;D   All the scene's apart from the skinned predators and graveyard scene need to be inserted into the DVD this will only make the movie even better! I really hope they put them in.  P.S I hope there is another avp movie? and I hope colin & greg return to direct, they are 'true' fans and will make a great movie   :)    Go Team Strause!

I'm with you starkiller  sure they made mistakes, but they will do better on AVP3  I hope AVP3 is rated R.

thanks! freshbreath3. ___________________________ Alot of people are blaming the bros. for the movie not being great! but if you read all there interviews and actually think about what they were trying to do, u would see, it was the lame script, budget and of course fox for making this movie not great! i liked avpr because it was for 'fans'  There has to be AVP3 and the brothers strause have to return to direct they are 'true' & 'loyal' fans and can make a 'epic' and a great movie!  Go Team Strause! dont listen to the haters!  Dont hate the player hate 'FOX'    :D  

20th century fox present a brandywine/davis production  a film by the brothers strause  AVP  W A R

I'm with you starkiller   the budget needs to be at 100 million for avp3  they need a better writer  and try to bring arnold schwarzenegger or danny glover which that could be impossible  the movie should be 2 hrs and 10 mins  they should bring Weyland-Yutani corp into this movie
